formatted data of a certain MIME type.</p>
<p>The preferred approach to drag and drop is to use <a href="qdrag.html">QDrag</a> in conjunction with <a href="qmimedata.html">QMimeData</a>. See <a href="dnd.html">Drag and
Drop</a> for details.</p>

<p>If you inherit from <a class="obsolete" href="qmimesource.html">QMimeSource</a>, for consistency reasons it is better to
implement the more abstract canDecode() functions such as
QTextDrag.canDecode() and QImageDrag.canDecode().</p>
